Setting Up Outlook on your iOS Device

To mitigate the effects of a bug which exists in the interactions between iOS’s calendar
and Events created in Outlook, IT Services recommends that you install and use the
official Outlook app to use with your Stockton e-mail address. Additionally, the Outlook
app offers several features not available in the default Mail client such as Focused
Inbox and the ability to view shared calendars.

To begin either follow this link on your phone, or open up the App Store on your iOS device and search for “Microsoft
Outlook”.

Open up your newly-downloaded Outlook app and log in with your full “firstname.lastname@stockton.edu”
e-mail address.

If you’d like to compare the experience of Focused Inbox, you can toggle it on and
off in the Settings menu. To access the Settings menu, tap at the menu icon in the
top-left of the screen and navigate to Settings – denoted by a gear icon. Once in
the settings menu, you can access features such as Signature customization and how
swipe actions function.

To access your Calendar, leave the Settings menu and tap on the Calendar icon at the
bottom of the screen.

While in the Calendar view, you may add shared calendars by tapping on the menu icon
in the top-left of the screen, then on the option “Add Shared Calendar”. Enter the
shared account e-mail address you’d like to add and click on the + icon.

So long as your account is authorized to access that shared calendar, events from
that calendar will now be visible in your Outlook app.
